My Aunt has a thermomix and used it nearly everyday of our visit a few years ago in Bruchkoebel! It was wonderful to experience all the culinary creations firsthand! It has been on my radar ever since and I will be taking the plunge, soon! Thank you so much, I’m learning so much from these wonderful reviews/comments…
@Helogurl - it’s a fantastic addition to the kitchen! I’m very happy that you’re enjoying my content. It makes all of the hard work worth it. If you have any questions regarding the TM6, please feel free to ask! Thanks for your support 🙋🏻♂️😀RTF
@Tony Brewin wow! Thanks very much, that means a lot to me, particularly coming from someone with so much experience in the food world. Are you planning on buying one, or do you already own one? Thanks again 😀 RTF
Since 1979?? Wow. That's an early adopter for sure. I've had mine since 2007 and couldn't be without it either. So much so I joined the company in 2017 soon after they launched it in the US. My boys grew up with it back in Portugal where we are from and are both fully independent in the kitchen. Taking the load of mommy here to be the only cook. They actually don't conceive not having one. It's like not having a dishwasher.
@@MartaSereno trying to contact USA consultant to arrange USA purchase. Would you please reach out to me? Previous attempts to find a consultant have gone unanswered. Very disappointed so far.
I bought a Thermomix for a year now, the best thing I bought! More time for me , and I am cooking more from scratch by making coconut milk and the flours...I love it!
@ana carvalho. Hi there. That’s brilliant! Did you wonder that you might not use it much before you bought it? I did, but I use it all of the time. I must say I haven’t tried coconut milk in it yet. Have you tried making the butter? It’s amazing . As for flours, in December I’ll be publishing the classic British mince pie in time for Christmas. Thats shortcrust pastry cooked in the TM6. I hope you watch it 😀👍🏻🙋🏻♂️ Thanks for your support. RTF
Ordering one today... been looking at one for a few weeks and with the help of your video I have made up my mind. with 3 growing boys I feel like this is going to be a life saver, thank you 👍🏼
Thanks so much for your nice comment. I’m so glad my video has helped make up your mind. The tm6 will change your life, literally. Check out the tm6 playlist on my channel. If I can be of any help to you, please let me know. Thanks again 😀 RTF
Great review Richie! Full disclaimer before my comment, I am a Thermomix employee in the US. Regarding cookidoo cost, mind you it's not just downloading a few bytes of information. Thermomix has dedicated teams of professional chefs in many countries developing those recipes for Thermomix. At the time you did this review there were 45k recipes. There are now, 10 months after, over 74k. Adding new ones every month at no additional cost, for a yearly subscription around the price of 1 good cookbook. In addition, you can use your thermomix without cookidoo in manual mode much like it used to be before cookidoo existed a few years back. Hope you are enjoying your thermomix more everyday. Keep up the great work with your UA-cam channel.
@Marta Serano thanks so much for the nice comment. I do admit, at the time of filming this review, I would have been slightly naive regarding Cookidoo. After almost 1 year of owning the machine, I can clearly see the work that goes into Cookidoo. As you say, it is always updated with new recipes and not left to go stale. Either way, I absolutely love this machine, and feel this review has helped Vorwerk sell a unit or two :) Again, thanks for supporting my channel and taking the time to comment, it is very much appreciated. Do keep in touch with all things Thermomix! RTF
We put our name down in the Thermomix website to get a demo, but have not heard back yet (we are in OR, 1 hr south of Portland. Would you be able to pull some string?...😬.Thanks!
@@davidbrent431of course. I'm no longer with the company but i stand by the product and have lots of contacts. I'm sending this to a great consultant Cristina Mota. She is in New York but she will help you. She's the best!
@@RichieTheFoodieyou should consider becoming a representative. It's freelance you can earn commissions and a free Thermomix. I put the name of a representative below (Cristina Mota) for someone who is looking for a demo. Talk to her as well. She'll give you all the information. She's super nice.
Aha, are you hoping this might help convince them to buy one? I do hope so! If you have my questions or need any help, please do shout up. Thanks for supporting my channel, I’m glad you enjoyed the review 🙋🏻♂️😀RTF
Yes. I've had mine for over 20 years! I can cook (and my son's a chef) and I've lived in Italy for over 40 years, where it's always been very popular. It saves so much time. For example, things like polenta, risotto, bechamel/roux which normally need constant stirring...you just set it up, set the time and temperature and it calls you when it's finished. In the meantime you've done other things. And a friend f mine who can't cook to save her like was so happy to be given one when she had a baby, as she could make all the baby food she needed quickly and properly despite having no idea how to make it!
This is such a lovely comment, thanks so much for taking the time to write it. I don’t want to over sell this, but like you’ve said, this thing is a kitchen life changer. The risotto is so easy and I think is restaurant standard. I haven’t tried polenta in mine yet, but you’ve certainly got me thinking. And it makes baby food? Who knew? Certainly didn’t! Thanks again for stopping by 🙋🏻♂️😀RTF
@@charinajohansson3890 just look at the time stamps. Video was made 3 years ago and this comment was 7 months ago and Richie still says it is a kitchen life changer. One can certainly do that math can't they? I finally bought one last week and can't wait to get started with it. I have several friends who have a Thermomix since years and still swear by it.
You see all these positive reviews, and I do think it's a great kitchen device, (even though many people - not here maybe - got their unit for free in order to do the review.) My bottom line opinion is that its cost/benefit ratio is highly variable depending on each individual's personal situation. This includes aspects such as cooking skills/enjoyment, available time, financial, and depth/breadth of cuisine interest. For me, the 1-2 hours I spend every night cooking dinner after doing complex tasks in front of two computer monitors all day is my mental Yoga because I love to cook, from scratch, and most of the time, without a recipe. I love the feel of the knife in my hand. I love the challenge of having 2-3 things cooking on the stovetop at once. Now if I were someone that had other interests I wanted to free up time for and didn't enjoy cooking as a hobby, and a $1,500 USD counter-top high-tech kitchen device is within my budget, this could be a Godsend. Overall though I tend to think in our modern world we all have a bias towards liking new technology and exaggerating, at least a little, its actual life benefit.
@Jeff C wow, what an in-depth review/comment. Thanks for taking the time to write it. Firstly, as much as I’d like one of these babies for free, I had to pay for mine. It came highly recommended from a friend of mine. I also love to cook from scratch, as you can see on my cooking channel. There’s nothing better than opening a bottle of wine and getting stuck into cooking a good winter warmer. I bought mine for ease of use on the week. My wife isn’t a confident cook, but she is with the TM6. She’ll happily cook dinner when I’m running late at work. It’s also great for a lot of forms of prep, which saves time too. I agree, it’s a hefty amount to pay out, but I think on the whole, it’s more than worth it. Thanks again mate, and thanks for interacting with my channel. I hope you might like some of my other cooking content😀 RTF
I’d do a review every day as I cook with only this awesome kitchen tool for a year if I could get one of these for free! Really cool tool !!! I’m looking forward to seeing what the future brings for these devices as new models and/or additional parts are released. Great video review brother! I think I’ll subscribe after I check out that rice recipe of yours and see how good it is. Great review bro! 👊
Kerry Britnell - Aww, thanks so much. What a lovely thing to say! Comments like this remind me why I keep creating. Reading your kind words made me smile too. Thanks for stopping by and supporting my channel, it genuinely means a lot to me 🙋🏻♂️😀RTF
Thank you for the great video, I’ve been researching the TM6 trying to justify/convince myself to buying one. Especially since I own every kitchen gadget including three InstantPots, Vitamix and a Breville Smart Oven.
Hi Teresa I can’t recommend this gadget enough, it just grows and grows on you. I literally use mine every day now, and couldn’t imagine being without it now. Definitely invest, and it will certainly no doubt enhance your already large collection of kitchen gadgets 👍🏻😆 Thanks for for your nice comment, I appreciate it 😀 RTF
@@RichieTheFoodie Thank you for taking the time out to reply. I’m almost sold on it. I have a friend whose a Consultant which you should be with all your great posts promoting it. Keep up the great videos and your presentation on Instagram is awesome!
Thanks for your support, it means the world. Just a few nice words like yours makes all of the hard work filming and editing worth it. As for taking time to comment, if you or anyone else can take the time to comment on my little channel, then it’s the very least I can do. Keep safe 😀 RTF
@@RichieTheFoodie since you have every other appliance, we in the U.S. have access to a multi cooker by Cuckoo that you'd LOVE. I bought them for my cousins, two of whom already own Instant Pots, and they prefer the Cuckoo (although its orientation uses more counter real estate). It's the CMC-ASB601F, A60 Premium Series and you can see demos here on UA-cam of its smaller model (they recently made a larger, six-quart model available, which is what we in the family all have). They're made in Korea and are of much nicer quality than similar units made in China. It's RIGHT up your alley!
That’s great to hear. You’ll never get bored of using it, there’s always something new to try! I hope you enjoy your tm6 journey. If you need help, please shout up. Thanks for stopping by and supporting my channel 🙋🏻♂️😀RTF
Great review and I learnt a lot from this and the following Beef Madras review. Our TM6 is on order as our 40th Wedding Anniversary present to ourselves so we will call her Ruby. I'm an experienced cook who has lost interest in spending hours peeling, slicing, dicing, chopping, blending and grinding. We've also ordered the new potato peeler which replaces the plastic cover. This way my retired husband is now keen to cook too! I've subscribed.
@Nev Brown - you’re more than welcome. I enjoyed producing it. May I say thanks for the positive feedback you have been kind enough to share. What a lovely anniversary present to yourselves. Ruby is very fitting. Mine is called Phil! It’s an amazing appliance. My TM6 content is all unbiased as I’m not an advisor. As I mentioned in my review, anyone can use this and achieve really good results! There’s always something new to try. The potato peeler works ok. I’ve recently reviewed it here on the channel. If you have any more questions or need help or advice, I’m always happy to help. Many thanks for the subscription and for stopping by 🙋🏻♂️😀RTF
Thank you so much for your detailed and really informative helpful review. I'm a foodie too and a competent cook but am time poor with work and uni study so am tempted to add the TM6 to my kitchen, even though I already own a different brand high quality thermo cooker (which I love as well!). I'm hoping the teenagers will find it fun to use so that they can help out a bit more! 😂 I really value your first review. Think you may have persuaded me to go for it! Thanks so much. Ps love your accent, I'm a Brit, now Aussie living down under. Made me feel at home. 😊
@Odette Thornton you’re more than welcome. I’m glad to be able to help. To be honest, when I filmed this video, I didn’t have high hopes for it. How wrong was I! Lol I still use my Thermie, literally daily. I couldn’t be without it, even though I’m also a competent cook like yourself. Please pop back here once you’ve had yours for a week and let me know what you think. I’m always adding to my tm6 playlist here on the channel, go check it out 😀 Lucky you, I’ve been there twice. Where have you settled? I really appreciate your interaction with my channel, and glad you love the accent 🙋🏻♂️😀👍🏻 RTF
Can I also say you can absolutely freestyle with it too. So for people who isn’t interested in the recipe on the machine, you can still use it with your own recipes. I love it so much, that’s why I’ve become an advisor on this!
@Fei - yes, you absolutely can. I use mine as an every day kitchen item for blending, chopping etc, not just for cookidoo. Thanks for stopping by 🙋🏻♂️😀RTF
That’s really good to hear! Having a good advisor is important, you’ll be shown how to use it to its full potential. Don’t hesitate to recommend me to anyone! 😂
I’m considering … so is there much difference between the TM5 and the TM6, ? I might go for a second hand TM5 if it makes sense . Another question , is there less particulate in the air this way than traditional cooking?
I haven’t owned a TM5 if I’m being honest. I do know that the main difference is the built in WiFi, the Cookidoo connection and guided/cook along recipes. The other main difference is the increase in temperature meaning you can work with sugar and also stir fry meat and vegetables etc. As for particulate, I’d say it’s about the same as traditional cooking I hope this helps, if you have any more questions, I’m happy to help. Thanks for stopping by 🙋🏻♂️😀RTF
Hi I'm wondering about the scales function can I substitute ingredients or will it say I haven't the correct amounts because somethings may weigh slightly more or less than those called for in the recipe. Also, can it be used without the internet? Thanks
Hi, you can add as little or as much as you wish, or you can skip any part of the recipe you want to, the machine will just let you continue. You can use it without the internet but you won’t be able to use Cookidoo as all of their recipes are online to follow along with. I hope this helps, let me know if you have any more questions. Thanks for stopping by 🙋🏻♂️😀RTF
I started in 2003 with the model 3300. Of course followed up with the TM31, TM5 and now TM6. I cannot live withhout it. The TM is unfortunately not popular in the Netherlands because of the price. Your review is great!
Wow, it certainly looks like you’ve had a lot more experience with the TM range than me! Admittedly, I don’t use it as often for cookidoo recipes, I still use it almost daily as a kitchen appliance. Like you, I couldn’t live without it! Thanks very much for the kind comment, I’m glad you enjoyed the review. Thanks for stopping by 🙋🏻♂️😀RTF
Great appliance and yes I am a consultant. I know this was early days 4 weeks in to being an owner - just to clarify the butterfly is NOT used for kneading, but absolutely whipping cream, egg whites, soft serve ice cream etc
Hello, thanks for stopping by. A great appliance as you say. I’d not long been using it when I filmed this review - hence the mistake with the butterfly. I’ve corrected myself on previous comments in this section. Thanks for the heads up anyway 🙋🏻♂️😀RTF

Hi from Australia 🎉 my Thermomix TM6 is on it’s way, so I decided to do some pre investigations came across your channel & now I’m hooked & yes I’m also now a subscriber, I love your honesty & not to mention a man who loves to cook 👍🏽 I would love to know have you made sourdough bread? Looking forward to seeing many more of your videos, thank you for sharing your time for us to enjoy.
@lorrainecray3965 - hello there! Congratulations, you’ve made a fine decision. I’m pleased that my content has helped you make up your mind. You’ll absolutely love it. I just wish I had £1 for every viewer I’ve helped make up their mind to buy one 🤣 I try to be honest, this machine is easy to rave about. Not tried sourdough yet, but I’ve cooked normal sandwich bread which is on the channel. May I say I really appreciate your feedback back. Comments like like this inspires me to continue to make content. Please let me know how you get on with your new machine. I’m always here if you need help. Thanks again 🙋🏻♂️😀RTF

Just to say, you can sous vide without the blade cover. You can place meat or fish in the simmering basket, granted not as much as if you had a blade cover.
That’s a nice tip, thanks very much for sharing. Like you rightfully say, you’re a bit limited as to how much you can fit in the simmering basket, but it would still work! Thanks again for stopping by and dropping a comment 🙋🏻♂️😀RTF

@RichieTheFoodie Cheers! What an exceptional video. Thanks for the Thermomix demo. I am definitely thinking of getting one. Is the machine with the jar heavy? I did not understand when you said that to get recipes an annuity needs to be paid. This mean that we can't grab Thermomix recipes from the internet to add them in our Thermomix? Now I understand, what in fact Thermomix wants is for customers to spend money on the cookido. So, that's why they don't allow us to grab recipes from the internet, correct? By the way do u know the TOKIT? Well the machine is made and assembly in China the recipes (cookido) are completely free. So what are the difference now? Thermomix is triple the price than the TOKIT, cookido must be payed anual y or monthly and most important thing they say it “MADE IN GERMANY” but in fact I bet u that is not made in Germany, it was designed by a German person yes and it is also assembled in Germany. But now, tell me where does every little peace to assembled the machine are coming from, China, am I correct? Or they built every piece in Germany?
Hi there. It’s quite heavy, yes. The cokidoo app requires an annual subscription. You can still see the recipes online but you can’t see the instructions on what to do and the app won’t run alongside your machine. I hope this does not put you off getting one, you won’t regret it. If you have any more questions, let me know. Thanks for supporting my channel 🙋🏻♂️😀RTF
Hi Gillian, that’s great to hear. Have you cooked any of the recipes in my tm6 playlist? ua-cam.com/play/PL8QP71IcWnHG66aHbJsyNU_nBQqYdkUdA.html The thermomix definitely improves your cooking skills! Thanks for taking the time to comment 😀 RTF
Hi Charlie, that’s not much of an increase over time then. Do you enjoy being an advisor? I’m glad you enjoyed the review and thanks for stopping by and supporting the channel 🙋🏻♂️😀RTF
I have 2 days left to stay one, so far not got the sales I need (needed 4) which is frustrating. The March monthly offer is a great one too - get an extra bowl and the long awaited cutter for £69 plus the option for 24months interest free!
@@tankgerl1 that’s a shame, I hope you wont put you off continuing to be an advisor. I’ve been awaiting the cutter for ever, still can’t see it on their website? Thanks for your support, I appreciate it 🙋🏻♂️😀RTF
@Fernando S you’re very welcome! I appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment. I hope this video will help you decide if to buy a thermomix or not. Any questions, please ask away 🙋🏻♂️😀RTF
Hi I just found your channel! Thank you for this review, it was very helpful, I'm debating about one of these particularly when I return to work from maternity leave. I enjoy cooking (by no stretch of the imagination would I say I'm a great cook though) so this would definitely be helpful. My rational though is because I'm quite time poor. Curious as its so high tech is there a timer function you can set for it to switch on? I ask because while I have a slow cooker it only gives you a 3-7 window, and often I'm much later coming home from work... Often to an overcooked or ruined dinner!
@Andrea. Hello! I’m certainly glad that you stumbled across my channel 😀 You’re very welcome, I really enjoyed filming it, and pleased it’s helped you and lots of others make a decision to make one of the best purchases you’ll ever make (no exaggeration) Unfortunately, there is currently no timer to turn the machine on. There are regular software updates though, so I wouldn’t rule it out in future. I tend to use the TM6 to batch cook and freeze, ready for a busy week. For example, I’m publishing my TM6 chilli tomorrow. It serves 6 and freezes really well. The beef madras on my channel is another dish that freezes well. The TM6 will save you time either way. You can knock up a quality dish in 30 minutes and you don’t have to constantly watch over it, stirring, adjusting heat etc. It does it all for you. Plus there’s hardly no washing up to do. If you’re time poor, I really can’t recommend this machine enough, and I’m not a Thermomix advisor, I’m completely neutral. Get one on order 😀 May I thank you for commenting and supporting my channel, I really appreciate it. If there’s anything more I can do to help, please ask away, it’s no trouble. If you decide to buy one, definitely let me know how it goes. Thanks 😀👍🏻 RTF
@@RichieTheFoodie thank you for taking the time out to respond. Much appreciated. I'm now gonna have to look into it ... But like you said it should be well worth the investment. Will have to check out the rest of the cooking videos on your channel!
Couldn't agree more with the annual dues for Cuckidoo, and I've been a subscriber for several years now. Half would be about right (and still couldn't be called "cheap"). Nice review!
@HotVoodooWitch thanks for the comment. I originally thought I was being slightly harsh stating that when I reviewed the tm6. Maybe they charge it to pay their recipe writers? I hope you subscribed to the foodie family 😀👍🏻🙋🏻♂️
@@RichieTheFoodie my dear, what can I say--the truth can be harsh and you nailed it. Liking something doesn't require a suspension of one's ability to call it like it is. And yes, I hit that "subscribe" button. 🤣
Absolutely spot on. I disagree with the subscription, but couldn’t be without my TM6. 1st world problems 🤔lol Thanks for the sub, the more constructive comments, the better, I feel 😀
@@HotVoodooWitch @RichieTheFoodie while I understand your comments and points around it being expensive (especially given the machine itself costs you a pretty penny) and I'm not trying to say that both of you are wrong with my following points, I do feel like I need to make two counterpoints/follow-ups: 1. We happily pay $15 AUD (~10 GBP) a month for something like Netflix, so my first point I guess would be what's 30 GBP a year? I realise it's not really comparing apples to apples, but at the end of the day like Richie pointed out above, it's all content creation and I think that's mainly what you're paying for. From what I understood, Cookidoo is constantly adding new recipes are they not? 2. Like you say in your video, Richie, you're not streaming hundreds of gigs for the recipes, but again correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding was that the biggest benefit you get for the Cookidoo recipes is the built-in "wizard" functionality of the TM6, is it not? In other words the on-screen prompts and interactive instructions. Sure I can use any recipe I can find anywhere, but then I'd have to figure out how to do it with the TM myself. My point is: this is where I think the TM starts to absolutely shines is when you combine it with the Cookidoo recipes to get all of that convenience. Click on recipe, do what it says on the screen, and presto, out comes your meal. I'd happily pay 30 GBP a year for that! Anyway, thanks for the amazingly detailed and honest review, Richie. The wife and I are seriously considering getting hold of one of these and you've cleared up a lot of questions I had.
Thanks for the trustworthy review. I'm wondering, when the Cookidoo subscription expires, do you lose your recipes? Does the cooking process become more manual?
Hi there. Thanks for the nice comment 😀 Yes, I believe the cooking would become more manual, but you could still read hard copies of tm6 recipes to cook with. I hope this helps RTF
@@RichieTheFoodie the TM5 has chips that contain the contents of recipe books; you attach them on the side and you're guided through recipes on its (smaller-than-the-TM6's) screen. There's a larger Cuckidoo chip that allows online access to the Cuckidoo site (IOW Bluetooth isn't built into the unit, unlike the TM6), plus you were able to load the contents of your other chips to your Cuckidoo account FOR A RIDICULOUSLY BRIEF WINDOW OF TIME. 😡 I couldn't find the chip that was bundled with the machine (although I still have its hard cover recipe book), so I Iost the ability to load it to Cuckidoo. That and the high annual Cookidoo dues REALLY pissed me off. I'm going to upgrade to the TM6 (I'm passing the TM5 along to a friend) but there's a side of me that still loves my trusty Canadian TM31 best of all. Just terribly petty on Vorwerk's part, especially for such an expensive, albeit superior, appliance.
Richie, thank you for the honest review! I wonder if I can still make my own recipes with the Thermomix (I'm really into Ayurvedic food)? And how suitable is the TM6 if you are a vegan/vegetarian?
@Merle Wangerin - you’re more than welcome! Happy to help. Yes you can indeed make and create your own recipes. You can of course use it as a stand alone coffee maker, blender, chopper etc. The choice is yours! I have only tried a few vegetarian recipes, they turned out fine. There are so many to choose from. Any more questions, please ask. Thanks for watching the video and stopping by to leave a comment. 🙋🏻♂️😀RTF

@@kamileeM I couldn’t find pork goulash but found gherkin soup 😀 you might have to wait for me to film it. I’m on holiday soon and have a filming schedule which I’ll add this too.

You can access the Cookidoo app without owning a machine so you can view what recipes are available If you have any further questions, please ask 🙋🏻♂️😀RTF
@Sonia Hayward that’s entirely up to you. From what I can see, the Vitamix is essentially just a blender and a bit more. The TM6 is a cooking aid with a blender as a function. I highly recommend one. Check out my TM6 playlist to see what else it can do. Any more questions, feel free to ask 🙋🏻♂️😀RTF
Hi Richie, I’m still on the fence about this one. I cannot decide - I’m not a ‘foodie’ or regular cook - I just cook to eat/survive so I suspect this would be too much for me - what do you think? I know you don’t know me from Adam but from what I’ve said and from your personal experience …… thanks.
@Toria Summers - hiya! There’s a few ways you could look at this. If you say you just eat to survive, then it’s possible that it wouldn’t be worth investing so much money into a cooking device. On the flip side, you could purchase this and possibly discover a love for food, fresh ingredients and different world food cultures which could blow your mind. All made so simple in the TM6! The choice is yours. I may not know you from Adam, but you contribute and support the channel, so as far as I’m concerned, you’re part of the family ❤️😀🙋🏻♂️RTF
@@RichieTheFoodie what a kind and sensible reply, many thanks. you’re clearly very passionate about the Thermie and that’s lovely. I do really like the device and the idea behind it but I just know what I’m like - I will, perhaps, like it for the first few weeks and think it’s brilliant but then stop using it because I get fed up with it or can’t be bothered with it - goodness, what kind of person does that make me sound like?! I guess if I did buy one and that happened, I could always sell it but ...... Keep the videos coming my friend. 😀😀
@@toriasummers2670 then only you can decide 😀 weigh up the pros and cons. It doesn’t make you sound like a bad person at all. You certainly wouldn’t get fed up with with one due to how easy it makes your life in the kitchen! I will indeed keep the videos coming.

Actually, I did not think it was necessary, but when my grandfather gone, I change my mind. My grandmother really need it, because the machine can take care of her instead of me when I am buzy. I have been thinking about buying an automatic cooking machine. Recently I discovered a more cost effective automatic cooking machine, the Tokit Omni Cook, I have take an order and look forward to its arrival.
@Justine Leggett yes, indeed it does. Here is a great example of a previous video I made ua-cam.com/video/Hi2bg59MrEU/v-deo.html If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask. I’m happy to help 🙋🏻♂️😀RTF
Thank you for the video! I know that everything is relative but I’m considering to buy one to my daughter, she is an university student and almost vegetarian, she likes fresh food, do you recommend me to buy it for her?
Hi there. Absolutely, there are 1000’s of vegetarian recipes on Cookidoo. As for liking fresh food, that’s pretty much what the tm6 is all about, scratch cooking with fresh ingredients, virtually nothing processed. To my knowledge, there are a lot of subscribers to my channel who are vegetarian and own a tm6. I hope this helps. Can I say thanks for supporting my channel 🙋🏻♂️😀RTF
@Mistry man - thanks, it’s good to know UA-cam are recommending my content! Finally getting somewhere 👍🏻 I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks very much for stopping by and supporting the channel, it’s much appreciated. Welcome aboard! 🙋🏻♂️😀RTF
Hi Philip. You’re more than welcome, I’m glad it might be of help. Let me know if it convinces your mate to make a purchase! My ‘top 10 tm6 recipes you’ll love’ which is also here on the channel might also help convince them. Thanks for supporting my channel, I really do appreciate it 🙋🏻♂️😀 RTF
@Chris Alger - is this a recipe from Cookidoo? If so, which country or region is it from? I don’t seem to be able to find it. Thanks for stopping by and supporting the channel 😀🙋🏻♂️RTF
The only thing that i think could be better is that now you are stock to the recepies and if you want to fry for example you have to use some of the recepie and you can not do something on your own recepies for example, thats not so good...
Hi there. You don’t have to use Cookidoo recipes. You are free to use the machine for general cooking and your own recipes. There are instructions on how to use the functions in the book supplied. I hope this helped. Any more questions, please ask. Thanks for watching 🙏😀 RTF
Hi Elisha. Thanks so much for your kind comment. It makes all of the hard work seem worth it! I’m yet to use the crock pot on mine yet. Stay tuned for TM6 creme brûlée next week 😀 RTF
Thank you for the excellent and honest opinion, plus comments about the Thermomix TM6. Very interesting and intriguing. I'm only concerned that a person living on their own would benefit from the outlay of such expensive piece of equipment. Definitely 'Food for Thought!"
@Anne Hutchings thanks very much for your kind words, I really appreciate it. I certainly think you would still benefit from owning a TM6 if you live on your own. There’s so much you can do with it. And of course most food I cook in it, batch freezes really will. The chilli for instance. If you have any more questions, please ask, I’m always happy to help. Thanks again for stopping by and supporting my channel 🙋🏻♂️😀RTF
@Anne Hutchings, there’s portion change function added on this year. I’m an advisor for Thermomix in the UK. Let me know if you have any more questions!
Hi , I just ordered my TM6 and have doubts about if it’s a good decision, I love to cook that’s why I haven’t buy it before… do you still used is as much?
Hi Cyndi. I have to say, you’ve made a great decision. I use mine almost daily, even after all of this time. Even if I’m not using it following a recipe on Cookidoo, I’m using it for steaming, blending, sous vide etc. if you need any help or advice, feel free to shout up. Thanks for stopping by 🙋🏻♂️😀RTF
Hey is there any way to scale the recipes up or down For example if I wanna make more flapjacks can I like click some button to maybe get 1.5x the amount of ingredients in the recipe
That’s a very good question. Of course, you can scale recipes down, but as yet, there’s no button to change the amounts. I just do it in my head. That sounds like a very good idea for an update though. If you have any more questions, please ask away. Thanks for stopping by 🙋🏻♂️😀RTF
@Lesley Johnson - you’re very welcome, I really enjoyed making it! If you have any more questions, please ask. Thanks for supporting my channel, I appreciate it 🙋🏻♂️😀RTF
Hi could I just a couple of questions do you need a cook- key with t6 as I’m not sure what it is and does the t6 give you the nutrition content of the meals thanks
@Justine Leggett I’m not sure what you mean by a cook key? As for the nutritional content, the cookidoo app does include this with each recipe 🙋🏻♂️😀RTF
There was a cook-key on the tm5; the tm6 doesn't have a cook-key attached as it has cookidoo integrated in the screen. I hope I helped answer your question.
@@falovepa aww thank you so much. That means a lot to me. Sometimes when a video absolutely bombs, you wonder if it’s all worth it. I really appreciate the support 🙋🏻♂️😀RTF
Thank you for the video, can you substitute ingredients in a recipe say it has carrots can I instead use potato for instance. Can I make my own recipes?
You’re very welcome. You can absolutely substitute for any ingredient you like. You can also make your own recipes, it’s quite easy once you get used to each function of the machine. It’s very versatile. Thanks for your comment and watching the video, I appreciate it. I hope you’ll consider subscribing if you haven’t already 😀👍🏻 RTF
So, it’s expensive and you need a subscription to use its features? If that’s the case, it’s a deal breaker to me. What if the subscription service folds? Then what?
@Jondrew55 - yes it is indeed expensive, and yes, you need a subscription to access cookidoo. You get 12-18 months free in most countries though. The subscription mainly pays for recipe updates. There are 1000’s of recipes and more added each week. If the subscription service folds? I doubt that would happen but you never know. I guess you’d be left with a multi functional kitchen appliance. Thanks for stopping by and supporting the channel, I really appreciate it 🙋🏻♂️😀RTF
@@herbertwilliam8480 I must admit that I’ve never heard of this machine. Is your Grandma getting good use out of it? I’ll have to look them up 🙋🏻♂️😀RTF
You’re very welcome! I hope my review helped you decide to order one. You’ll absolutely love it. If you need any support or help, let me know. Thanks for supporting my channel 🙋🏻♂️😀RTF
@@RichieTheFoodie I love the idea to try all those things I have never eaten before. First thing I will try that beef madras, it looks delicious. Did you spice it up more? Thanks Rich.
No I didn’t, but feel free to add a bit more heat if you wish. You’ll see from my channel that love to cook traditionally too. I think the biggest hack on the tm6 has to be the risotto. It’s better than what I can achieve on the stove, and so much easier! I urge you to try the mushroom risotto that I’ve recorded here on the channel. Try sous vide cooking too! 😀🙋🏻♂️RTF
I'm taking a serious look at this in the United States. I don't think it will ever replace a Hobart mixer, but I'm betting that it will make it a lot easier for more difficult recipes that require precise temperatures and mixing times, such as hollandaise sauce, tempered chocolate, cream brulee and other recipes that require expensive ingredients and are highly sensitive. I am banking on the possibility that the cost of ingredients will greatly exceed the cost of this machine over time, and it will pay for its self in the reduced potential for food waste. And then there's the added possibility of more experimentation for recipes. One can certainly hope for the best!
You’ve made some very good points there, and you’re exactly right. Creme patisserie for example, comes out perfect. Hollanadaise, as you mentioned is a breeze. Perfect every time, and because it’s taking care of the heat, you can focus on other parts of the dish, knowing the tm6 has your back. You’d probably use it for a lot more than you think you would, I use mine every day and couldn’t imagine my kitchen life without it now. I used it to cook a creme brulee on my channel. It Might make an interesting watch for you. Thanks for commenting and supporting my channel. I appreciate it 😀
@@RichieTheFoodie I'll plan on using it for combination dishes, like a salmon/soup/potato recipe. With salmon at $9.00 per pound, the food is not cheap so I am not going to want to take a chance of it not turning out right. For items that will cause premature wear to the blades of this machine, such as nut butters, I'll continue to use my Robot Coupe for those (they're simple and quick anyway) to extend the Thermomix's life. I am also betting that cold recipes like a cheese ball would be better done in a heavy mixer. For slicing and dicing, the food processor can team with the Thermomix, allowing me to let the Thermomix do a few tasks while I focus on preparing other ingredients with my other tools. There is nothing cheap about good equipment. This is an investment, like buying stocks and precious metals. The payoff is over time.
It certainly sounds like you have an extensive collection of kitchen gadgets, and I think the TM6 would be a worthy new member. I believe the blade is very durable and relatively inexpensive to replace. The TM6 is built well, so it will make a great workhorse. I sometimes feel like I big this machine up a bit too much in my comments, but it’s that good, it’s difficult not to. I hope you invest in one, and I’d be very interested to know your thoughts, both positive and negative once you become accustomed to it. Do let me know, and thanks again for posting your comments
You can definitely consider me as a small appliance collector. There have been times when I ended up with some surplus, which I would donate to someone who would want a mixer or food processor. The ones that I use, even if I use them rarely, are the ones I keep.
@Debbie Milner Yes, sure, you absolutely can. I believe there was a function you could only use in Cookidoo. Recent software updates have changed that. If there are functions you can’t manually use, I’m unaware. It would help to use Cookidoo recipes to familiarise yourself with the TM6 functions before attempting your own recipes, like the varoma function for example. There’s also a glossary in the book explaining each function and settings to help you use it for your own recipes. Please check out my chicken in mushroom sauce, which is my own recipe in the tm6. I hope this helps, thanks so much for interacting with my channel, I really appreciate it 😀👍🏻 RTF

@@jenniferschmitzer299 you’ve definitely made the right choice! I hope you’ll consider subscribing to the channel as there’s lots more TM6 content to come. I’m filming profiteroles this week 😆🙋🏻♂️ Thanks RTF
@RichieTheFoodie if only I could umm.. “assess” your trial profiteroles before you actually make the video. For Science. Lol. ( and here is me mentally knocking off the goblet after you scraped out the filling... I promise I’ll return it clean. Licked finger clean lol)
@Jennifer Schmitzer lol that actually made me laugh 😂 The TM6 actually has it’s own pre-cleaning function. But you’d be more than welcome to sample the bowl. Surely you’d prefer the finished product though? 😋🙋🏻♂️ RTF
Hi Richie, have you ever had any problems with your thermie insofar as the motor sounding like it’s really struggling and stopping for a couple of seconds? I made some vegetable soup the other day following the guided recipe to the letter and it really sounded like it was having a hard time - clearly there are lots of more vegetables in the bowl but I didn’t do anything I shouldn’t! Thermomix haven’t really said anything about this!
@Toria Summers - a little yes, it depends on the load really I guess. Mine has never stopped for a couple of seconds though, Judy sounds like it’s struggling sometimes. How did the sound turn out? I guess you’ve decided to keep Thelma then? 🙋🏻♂️😀RTF
@@RichieTheFoodie thanks Richie. I can’t describe what it sounded like but imagine any device struggling under what I assume is load! do you really use yours every day? It just seems that a lot of the recipes call for a lot of fattening ingredients, so I appreciate you can change those around. this is such a blinking hard decision and I’m so sorry to trouble you seemingly regularly but you’ve been so kind and helpful!
@@toriasummers2670 - not at all, I’m always happy to help. If you take the time to watch my content and interact, the least I can do is help 😀. It will be under load, I agree. I don’t use mine every day as like to keep my eye in with other cooking skills. I also love to sous vide but I do that with a separate unit. I use Phil the thermie about 3 times per week, it all depends 🙋🏻♂️😀RTF

@Gerkygirl Jacob Cat is correct, it grinds spices very well indeed. I actually grind spices in my latest video if you’d like to see. ua-cam.com/video/Z3IqV1g_UNg/v-deo.html Any more questions, feel free to ask 😀 I hope you subscribed to the happy foodie family 😁 RTF
@@RichieTheFoodie thank you so much for the reply!! I've watched your video and it looks fantastic!! But you're not using whole spices like cinnamon sticks or cloves or Star anise. I'm looking to grind these types finely to then add to cake batters for example!? That's what I'm not sure, can the TM6 do that?? I'm struggling to choose between the vitamix 3100i or the TM6!!! The deciding factor is the spices grinding capabilities!! Help!!!! 😂🙈😂
@@gerkygirljacob5151 you’re very welcome! Thanks for supporting my channel. The TM6 is extremely powerful. I haven’t ground star anise, but I’ve just searched Cookidoo and found sweet potato soup with star anise. Part of the recipe is grinding it! So I hope that answers your question 😀. It makes some great cake batters, also. Check out my lemon drizzle cake. Buy one, you won’t regret it. If you do, please let me know how you get on with it RTF
@@RichieTheFoodie You are a total rockstar and thank you so, so much for engaging with me and looking that up! You're a gentleman. I shall of course let you know if I take the plunge!! Thank you again and have a beautiful Sunday!
Hi Richie, hope you're well. I'm sure you're not interested but I'll tell you anyway! I kept Thelma and she has certainly been proving her worth thanks to you and other UA-camrs and Facebook pals. Thanks again for all your support and I hope/know that your channel will continue to grow. 😁
@Toria Summers - firstly., of course I’m bothered! You’re one of my most active, loyal subscribers. Your contribution means a lot to me. Secondly, I’m made up you kept Thelma and you’re getting good use out of her, it’s been an absolute pleasure helping you. You’re very welcome.

I just learned about this product after seeing a knockoff of it. Im thoroughly impressed with the entire concept and i feel its a tool everyone should have in the kitchen no matter your skill level. I also wonder if any entrepreneurs have thought of stocking a restaurant with these. You wouldnt need skilled cooks to deliver above avg meals and they would be extremely consistent. Great video
@Gonzo I completely agree. I feel I’m a good cook (dare I say) but there are so many dishes which I make in the TM6, and compared to manual way I cook them I ask myself, ‘is it worth manually cooking these again? ‘ There’s hardly a difference. With some of the rubbish served here in the U.K in restaurants, you could easily open a restaurant using just these. I had the opportunity to meet the head chef of a Michelin starred kitchen, I spotted 3 units, they only use them for prep, but still..! Thanks for taking the time to comment on my channel. I hope you considered subscribing too 😃 RTF
Just off the top of my head: it could get expensive. The savings in labor and the better food might pay for themselves, but I'm guessing that repairs would not be cheap, and the machines are probably not made with heavy use in mind. Then again, it's German engineering, so maybe they are?
@@wademcreynolds7428 i agree. Maybe its something they should R&D. Build some industrial units. I just saw a video of a restaurant somewhere in asia that uses machines to make egg fried rice. They just have someone prepping food and washing the dishes. So it looks like there may be a market for it. I just really love the concept because so many people struggle with cooking meals these days and this can take them to the next level and inspire them.
@@wademcreynolds7428 some very good points there. Here in the UK, you get a 2 year domestic warranty, or 1 year commercial. As for the German engineering, these things feel like they are built extremely well, very sturdy. That’s not to say they’d never break down. Not had any problems at all, with mine yet, after 9 months of almost daily use. Thanks for commenting. RTF
They are used in restaurant kitchens all around the world, when you watch cooking shows & once you know what to look for you'll see them being used especially for sauces etc because Thermomix will hold a constant temperature
@Jeanette Osborn of course. You can create your own collections - midweek dinners, weekends, baking etc. They stay there for as long as you want. I hope this helps. Thanks for stopping by and supporting my channel 🙋🏻♂️😀RTF
@@jeanetteosborn8498 no problem at all. If you need more information, have more questions, please ask. I’m more than happy to help. Again, my I thank you for supporting my channel 😀🙋🏻♂️RTF
Aww, thanks so much for your lovely comment, it means a lot to me. I’d only recommend buying a tm6 from the official Vorwerk U.K. website. Any more help you need, let me know 😀 RTF
Really fancy getting one of these! Do you think the blades will last, or do you get a guarantee with it? Thanks so much for this video. You've made a very reluctant cook want to get in the kitchen!
Hi Katy These things are absolutely built to last. I guess they should be for the cost of them. Here in the U.K, it comes with a 24 month parts and labour warranty. I believe the blade lasts between 2-5 years, but they aren’t expensive to replace. If you’re a reluctant cook, and you don’t mind the cost, then you MUST buy a TM6! I can’t recommend one enough, it’s a life changer in the home. Thanks for taking the time to comment and supporting my channel. If you buy one, let me know how you get on. RTF
Hi there. Yes, for sure. I use it almost daily. For instance, see my latest tm6 video here ua-cam.com/video/HS9VjHAnWjI/v-deo.htmlsi=jFM9cfYWeNa82gSW Thanks for stopping by and watching the video 🙋🏻♂️😀RTF
That’s absolutely brilliant. I feel I’m a good cook, like you, one of the few things I’m good at, now, well, I almost feel replaced 😂. Thanks for your comment. RTF
@@RichieTheFoodie I can tell you one thing I would never get it it's too much money $1,500 is not a good idea at all to me to me it is a glorified blender to me also there's probably watched out there that do just as good of a job and do probably just as much stuff is that thing for cheaper I really feel like 90% of people UA-cam won't actually end up buying it so I also kind of get confused why even advertise it because I think most people wouldn't buy it if only for a certain class of people and that's people who are rich regular people can't spend $1,500 on a machine unless they want to go broke an overdraft their Bank account
@@RichieTheFoodie that's not just a negative that's a 100% fact it's not just putting people off they have no choice not to get it which is 90% of people whether they like it or not whether they wanted whether they dream about it are never going to get it because they only made it for rich people Bill Gates might get it a millionaire might get it but an average person might get it in fact the regular person the average person doesn't even have a choice but to say no
@@RichieTheFoodie and besides I kind of feel like that the product itself probably isn't worth the asking price I think that they make it and then sell it for way more than what it's actually worth in terms of how much it cost to make
My friend just bought it yesterday in Germany. She talked about it for years, always wanted to buy one and now, since we can't do holidays, she decided to go for that little gadget out of her holiday funds. She paid a whooping promotional €1399, instead of €1496 😳 so much more than here in the UK. I am thinking of it. But I'm worried about the size. It's only 2.2L, so not massive. Obviously you have the steaming basket as well and it has 3L. And also I have a question, since I'm Polish, can you change languages on it? Not that I'm struggling with English but it would be great to read the recipes in my mother tongue. And I was wondering, if they have any Polish recipes 🤔 I own an Instanpot, and I love it but it's not as versatile as this one. Nice review by the way! Keep it up 👍
@Taxi Maxi thanks for you nice comment. I fully appreciate each and every one I receive. Wow! That is expensive, and in honesty, if it was that price in the U.K and I had to replace mine, I’d pay it. Yes, the bowl isn’t massive, but a lot of the recipes serve up to 6 people, generously, I’d say 4-5 though, so it depends on how large your family is I’m sure you can’t change the machine’s language, but I just checked Cookidoo here on my iPad, and you have options to filter countries when you search recipes. For example I searched ‘chicken’ and filtered Poland and I got two matches in Polish, so they are there, but there aren’t many. Anyway, your English is fine! I’d definitely buy one if you can! Thanks for your support, and I hope you subscribed to the foodie family. Tell your friends too 😁 RTF
You can absolutely change the language to Polish in your settings. In addition cookidoo has recipes from many countries including Poland so you will have native, traditional recipes from Poland, developed by polish chefs for Thermomix. Tons of pirogui recipes ;)
To be clear; the recipes within Cookidoo (what a terrible name), will appear in their native language. I'm unsure of the number of languages available. Suffice to say, it will not translate a Polish recipe to English, for example.
@Sarah 1 absolutely! I use it virtually every day now, and wouldn’t be without it. Nearly all of my midweek meals are cooked with it due to time saving and simplicity. Hope this helps, any more questions, please ask 😀 RTF
Hi Kelley. That’s a good question actually 🤔 I probably like it more now than I did when I reviewed it. I wouldn’t he without it! I’m cooking lemon drizzle cake with it tomorrow. It will be in the channel channel on Sunday. Thanks for commenting 😀 RTF
@Sophie Fellas - thanks very much for your nice comment. As for the review you have suggested, it’s a great idea but unfortunately it’s not possible as I don’t own a TM21. It’s a very old machine. If you have any more suggestions, please do ask! Thanks again 👍🏻🙋🏻♂️RTF

There are many differences, Drew. The TM6 screen is bigger. The onboard processor and RAM is quicker. There are far more features on the TM6 including the ability to sous vide cook. The biggest difference is the Cookidoo app, which I describe in the video. I hope this helps, any more questions, feel free to ask. Thanks for commenting RTF 😀
@@RichieTheFoodie thanks for pointing out that Vorwerk charges extra for what should be an included accessory. Even for those not using the sous vide feature, it's still a necessity if you want to slow cook. Cut to MY slow burn.
I'm a native English speaker American from California and do not understand almost half of what Richie says. I just had to turn on the subtitles! He says "it is still fun", I hear "ear seal phone", I can swear he skips "t" there!...he says "does", I hear "dose", he says "parts" I hear "pots", he says "keep up", I hear "keep hope", he says "cupboard", I hear "Covid"!

Very nice review Sir, I have had a TM6 for about 10 Months or so and it really is so versatile I think. I make lots of Sauces perfectly 😋 One thing you forget to mention is that because it is so expensive you can pay for it over 12, 24 or 36 interest free monthly payments. I am doing the 24 months option being a Pensioner 😋
@Andrew Thomas thanks so much for the nice comment! I really appreciate it. I’m glad you’re enjoying your tm6, it makes life so easy doesn’t it. That’s a very good point!

Since 1979?? Wow. That's an early adopter for sure. I've had mine since 2007 and couldn't be without it either. So much so I joined the company in 2017 soon after they launched it in the US. My boys grew up with it back in Portugal where we are from and are both fully independent in the kitchen. Taking the load of mommy here to be the only cook. They actually don't conceive not having one. It's like not having a dishwasher.

I bought a Thermomix for a year now, the best thing I bought! More time for me , and I am cooking more from scratch by making coconut milk and the flours...I love it!
@ana carvalho. Hi there. That’s brilliant! Did you wonder that you might not use it much before you bought it? I did, but I use it all of the time. I must say I haven’t tried coconut milk in it yet. Have you tried making the butter? It’s amazing . As for flours, in December I’ll be publishing the classic British mince pie in time for Christmas. Thats shortcrust pastry cooked in the TM6. I hope you watch it 😀👍🏻🙋🏻♂️

Great review Richie! Full disclaimer before my comment, I am a Thermomix employee in the US.
Regarding cookidoo cost, mind you it's not just downloading a few bytes of information. Thermomix has dedicated teams of professional chefs in many countries developing those recipes for Thermomix. At the time you did this review there were 45k recipes. There are now, 10 months after, over 74k. Adding new ones every month at no additional cost, for a yearly subscription around the price of 1 good cookbook. In addition, you can use your thermomix without cookidoo in manual mode much like it used to be before cookidoo existed a few years back. Hope you are enjoying your thermomix more everyday. Keep up the great work with your UA-cam channel.
@Marta Serano thanks so much for the nice comment. I do admit, at the time of filming this review, I would have been slightly naive regarding Cookidoo. After almost 1 year of owning the machine, I can clearly see the work that goes into Cookidoo. As you say, it is always updated with new recipes and not left to go stale. Either way, I absolutely love this machine, and feel this review has helped Vorwerk sell a unit or two :)
Again, thanks for supporting my channel and taking the time to comment, it is very much appreciated. Do keep in touch with all things Thermomix! RTF

Yes. I've had mine for over 20 years! I can cook (and my son's a chef) and I've lived in Italy for over 40 years, where it's always been very popular. It saves so much time. For example, things like polenta, risotto, bechamel/roux which normally need constant stirring...you just set it up, set the time and temperature and it calls you when it's finished. In the meantime you've done other things. And a friend f mine who can't cook to save her like was so happy to be given one when she had a baby, as she could make all the baby food she needed quickly and properly despite having no idea how to make it!
This is such a lovely comment, thanks so much for taking the time to write it.
I don’t want to over sell this, but like you’ve said, this thing is a kitchen life changer. The risotto is so easy and I think is restaurant standard. I haven’t tried polenta in mine yet, but you’ve certainly got me thinking. And it makes baby food? Who knew? Certainly didn’t! Thanks again for stopping by 🙋🏻♂️😀RTF
Now three years later. How much do you really use it? Honesty!
@@charinajohansson3890 Loads.
@@charinajohansson3890 just look at the time stamps. Video was made 3 years ago and this comment was 7 months ago and Richie still says it is a kitchen life changer. One can certainly do that math can't they? I finally bought one last week and can't wait to get started with it. I have several friends who have a Thermomix since years and still swear by it.

You see all these positive reviews, and I do think it's a great kitchen device, (even though many people - not here maybe - got their unit for free in order to do the review.) My bottom line opinion is that its cost/benefit ratio is highly variable depending on each individual's personal situation. This includes aspects such as cooking skills/enjoyment, available time, financial, and depth/breadth of cuisine interest. For me, the 1-2 hours I spend every night cooking dinner after doing complex tasks in front of two computer monitors all day is my mental Yoga because I love to cook, from scratch, and most of the time, without a recipe. I love the feel of the knife in my hand. I love the challenge of having 2-3 things cooking on the stovetop at once. Now if I were someone that had other interests I wanted to free up time for and didn't enjoy cooking as a hobby, and a $1,500 USD counter-top high-tech kitchen device is within my budget, this could be a Godsend. Overall though I tend to think in our modern world we all have a bias towards liking new technology and exaggerating, at least a little, its actual life benefit.
@Jeff C wow, what an in-depth review/comment. Thanks for taking the time to write it.
Firstly, as much as I’d like one of these babies for free, I had to pay for mine. It came highly recommended from a friend of mine.
I also love to cook from scratch, as you can see on my cooking channel. There’s nothing better than opening a bottle of wine and getting stuck into cooking a good winter warmer. I bought mine for ease of use on the week. My wife isn’t a confident cook, but she is with the TM6. She’ll happily cook dinner when I’m running late at work.
It’s also great for a lot of forms of prep, which saves time too. I agree, it’s a hefty amount to pay out, but I think on the whole, it’s more than worth it.
Thanks again mate, and thanks for interacting with my channel. I hope you might like some of my other cooking content😀

How many reviews did Jeff paste this comment on?
I’d do a review every day as I cook with only this awesome kitchen tool for a year if I could get one of these for free!
Really cool tool !!!
I’m looking forward to seeing what the future brings for these devices as new models and/or additional parts are released.
Great video review brother!
I think I’ll subscribe after I check out that rice recipe of yours and see how good it is.
Great review bro!

@@mkndrwd I’d like to know the answer to that question myself !!! Lol
When you've done that for 55 years and turn to a TM6 you'll realise that you were wrong.
Just found your channel and wanted to say thanks. You really made me smile. Down to earth commentary. Brilliant.

I can’t recommend this gadget enough, it just grows and grows on you. I literally use mine every day now, and couldn’t imagine being without it now.
Definitely invest, and it will certainly no doubt enhance your already large collection of kitchen gadgets 👍🏻😆

@@RichieTheFoodie since you have every other appliance, we in the U.S. have access to a multi cooker by Cuckoo that you'd LOVE. I bought them for my cousins, two of whom already own Instant Pots, and they prefer the Cuckoo (although its orientation uses more counter real estate). It's the CMC-ASB601F, A60 Premium Series and you can see demos here on UA-cam of its smaller model (they recently made a larger, six-quart model available, which is what we in the family all have). They're made in Korea and are of much nicer quality than similar units made in China. It's RIGHT up your alley!
I've owned Vitamixes since 1988--doesn't it ROCK?? I wouldn't be without it.
Thanks! Since receiving mine a few weeks ago, I've had nothing but fun! Also great for making ice creams and best curries ever

Great review and I learnt a lot from this and the following Beef Madras review. Our TM6 is on order as our 40th Wedding Anniversary present to ourselves so we will call her Ruby. I'm an experienced cook who has lost interest in spending hours peeling, slicing, dicing, chopping, blending and grinding. We've also ordered the new potato peeler which replaces the plastic cover. This way my retired husband is now keen to cook too! I've subscribed.
@Nev Brown - you’re more than welcome. I enjoyed producing it. May I say thanks for the positive feedback you have been kind enough to share. What a lovely anniversary present to yourselves. Ruby is very fitting. Mine is called Phil! It’s an amazing appliance. My TM6 content is all unbiased as I’m not an advisor. As I mentioned in my review, anyone can use this and achieve really good results! There’s always something new to try.
The potato peeler works ok. I’ve recently reviewed it here on the channel. If you have any more questions or need help or advice, I’m always happy to help. Many thanks for the subscription and for stopping by 🙋🏻♂️😀RTF
Thank you so much for your detailed and really informative helpful review. I'm a foodie too and a competent cook but am time poor with work and uni study so am tempted to add the TM6 to my kitchen, even though I already own a different brand high quality thermo cooker (which I love as well!). I'm hoping the teenagers will find it fun to use so that they can help out a bit more! 😂 I really value your first review. Think you may have persuaded me to go for it! Thanks so much. Ps love your accent, I'm a Brit, now Aussie living down under. Made me feel at home. 😊
@Odette Thornton you’re more than welcome. I’m glad to be able to help. To be honest, when I filmed this video, I didn’t have high hopes for it. How wrong was I! Lol
I still use my Thermie, literally daily. I couldn’t be without it, even though I’m also a competent cook like yourself. Please pop back here once you’ve had yours for a week and let me know what you think. I’m always adding to my tm6 playlist here on the channel, go check it out 😀
Lucky you, I’ve been there twice. Where have you settled?
I really appreciate your interaction with my channel, and glad you love the accent 🙋🏻♂️😀👍🏻 RTF
Welcome to Australia
Can I also say you can absolutely freestyle with it too. So for people who isn’t interested in the recipe on the machine, you can still use it with your own recipes. I love it so much, that’s why I’ve become an advisor on this!
@Fei - yes, you absolutely can. I use mine as an every day kitchen item for blending, chopping etc, not just for cookidoo. Thanks for stopping by 🙋🏻♂️😀RTF
That’s really good to hear! Having a good advisor is important, you’ll be shown how to use it to its full potential. Don’t hesitate to recommend me to anyone! 😂
I’m considering … so is there much difference between the TM5 and the TM6, ? I might go for a second hand TM5 if it makes sense .
Another question , is there less particulate in the air this way than traditional cooking?
I haven’t owned a TM5 if I’m being honest. I do know that the main difference is the built in WiFi, the Cookidoo connection and guided/cook along recipes. The other main difference is the increase in temperature meaning you can work with sugar and also stir fry meat and vegetables etc.
As for particulate, I’d say it’s about the same as traditional cooking
I hope this helps, if you have any more questions, I’m happy to help. Thanks for stopping by 🙋🏻♂️😀RTF
Hi I'm wondering about the scales function can I substitute ingredients or will it say I haven't the correct amounts because somethings may weigh slightly more or less than those called for in the recipe. Also, can it be used without the internet? Thanks
Hi, you can add as little or as much as you wish, or you can skip any part of the recipe you want to, the machine will just let you continue. You can use it without the internet but you won’t be able to use Cookidoo as all of their recipes are online to follow along with. I hope this helps, let me know if you have any more questions. Thanks for stopping by 🙋🏻♂️😀RTF
I started in 2003 with the model 3300. Of course followed up with the TM31, TM5 and now TM6. I cannot live withhout it. The TM is unfortunately not popular in the Netherlands because of the price. Your review is great!
Wow, it certainly looks like you’ve had a lot more experience with the TM range than me! Admittedly, I don’t use it as often for cookidoo recipes, I still use it almost daily as a kitchen appliance. Like you, I couldn’t live without it! Thanks very much for the kind comment, I’m glad you enjoyed the review. Thanks for stopping by 🙋🏻♂️😀RTF
Great appliance and yes I am a consultant. I know this was early days 4 weeks in to being an owner - just to clarify the butterfly is NOT used for kneading, but absolutely whipping cream, egg whites, soft serve ice cream etc

@RichieTheFoodie Cheers! What an exceptional video. Thanks for the Thermomix demo. I am definitely thinking of getting one. Is the machine with the jar heavy? I did not understand when you said that to get recipes an annuity needs to be paid. This mean that we can't grab Thermomix recipes from the internet to add them in our Thermomix? Now I understand, what in fact Thermomix wants is for customers to spend money on the cookido. So, that's why they don't allow us to grab recipes from the internet, correct? By the way do u know the TOKIT? Well the machine is made and assembly in China the recipes (cookido) are completely free. So what are the difference now? Thermomix is triple the price than the TOKIT, cookido must be payed anual y or monthly and most important thing they say it “MADE IN GERMANY” but in fact I bet u that is not made in Germany, it was designed by a German person yes and it is also assembled in Germany. But now, tell me where does every little peace to assembled the machine are coming from, China, am I correct? Or they built every piece in Germany?
Hi there. It’s quite heavy, yes. The cokidoo app requires an annual subscription. You can still see the recipes online but you can’t see the instructions on what to do and the app won’t run alongside your machine. I hope this does not put you off getting one, you won’t regret it. If you have any more questions, let me know. Thanks for supporting my channel 🙋🏻♂️😀RTF

Hi I just found your channel! Thank you for this review, it was very helpful, I'm debating about one of these particularly when I return to work from maternity leave. I enjoy cooking (by no stretch of the imagination would I say I'm a great cook though) so this would definitely be helpful. My rational though is because I'm quite time poor. Curious as its so high tech is there a timer function you can set for it to switch on? I ask because while I have a slow cooker it only gives you a 3-7 window, and often I'm much later coming home from work... Often to an overcooked or ruined dinner!
@Andrea. Hello! I’m certainly glad that you stumbled across my channel 😀 You’re very welcome, I really enjoyed filming it, and pleased it’s helped you and lots of others make a decision to make one of the best purchases you’ll ever make (no exaggeration)
Unfortunately, there is currently no timer to turn the machine on. There are regular software updates though, so I wouldn’t rule it out in future. I tend to use the TM6 to batch cook and freeze, ready for a busy week. For example, I’m publishing my TM6 chilli tomorrow. It serves 6 and freezes really well. The beef madras on my channel is another dish that freezes well.
The TM6 will save you time either way. You can knock up a quality dish in 30 minutes and you don’t have to constantly watch over it, stirring, adjusting heat etc. It does it all for you. Plus there’s hardly no washing up to do. If you’re time poor, I really can’t recommend this machine enough, and I’m not a Thermomix advisor, I’m completely neutral.
Get one on order 😀 May I thank you for commenting and supporting my channel, I really appreciate it. If there’s anything more I can do to help, please ask away, it’s no trouble. If you decide to buy one, definitely let me know how it goes.
Thanks 😀👍🏻 RTF

Couldn't agree more with the annual dues for Cuckidoo, and I've been a subscriber for several years now. Half would be about right (and still couldn't be called "cheap").
Nice review!
@HotVoodooWitch thanks for the comment. I originally thought I was being slightly harsh stating that when I reviewed the tm6. Maybe they charge it to pay their recipe writers?
I hope you subscribed to the foodie family 😀👍🏻🙋🏻♂️
@@RichieTheFoodie my dear, what can I say--the truth can be harsh and you nailed it. Liking something doesn't require a suspension of one's ability to call it like it is. And yes, I hit that "subscribe" button. 🤣
Absolutely spot on. I disagree with the subscription, but couldn’t be without my TM6. 1st world problems 🤔lol
Thanks for the sub, the more constructive comments, the better, I feel 😀
@@RichieTheFoodie I like to learn, too. 👍🏻 I feel like I need to master an established technique before I put my own spin on it.
@@HotVoodooWitch @RichieTheFoodie while I understand your comments and points around it being expensive (especially given the machine itself costs you a pretty penny) and I'm not trying to say that both of you are wrong with my following points, I do feel like I need to make two counterpoints/follow-ups:
1. We happily pay $15 AUD (~10 GBP) a month for something like Netflix, so my first point I guess would be what's 30 GBP a year? I realise it's not really comparing apples to apples, but at the end of the day like Richie pointed out above, it's all content creation and I think that's mainly what you're paying for. From what I understood, Cookidoo is constantly adding new recipes are they not?
2. Like you say in your video, Richie, you're not streaming hundreds of gigs for the recipes, but again correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding was that the biggest benefit you get for the Cookidoo recipes is the built-in "wizard" functionality of the TM6, is it not? In other words the on-screen prompts and interactive instructions. Sure I can use any recipe I can find anywhere, but then I'd have to figure out how to do it with the TM myself. My point is: this is where I think the TM starts to absolutely shines is when you combine it with the Cookidoo recipes to get all of that convenience. Click on recipe, do what it says on the screen, and presto, out comes your meal. I'd happily pay 30 GBP a year for that!
Anyway, thanks for the amazingly detailed and honest review, Richie. The wife and I are seriously considering getting hold of one of these and you've cleared up a lot of questions I had.
Thanks for the trustworthy review. I'm wondering, when the Cookidoo subscription expires, do you lose your recipes? Does the cooking process become more manual?
Hi there. Thanks for the nice comment 😀
Yes, I believe the cooking would become more manual, but you could still read hard copies of tm6 recipes to cook with.
I hope this helps
RTF
@@RichieTheFoodie the TM5 has chips that contain the contents of recipe books; you attach them on the side and you're guided through recipes on its (smaller-than-the-TM6's) screen. There's a larger Cuckidoo chip that allows online access to the Cuckidoo site (IOW Bluetooth isn't built into the unit, unlike the TM6), plus you were able to load the contents of your other chips to your Cuckidoo account FOR A RIDICULOUSLY BRIEF WINDOW OF TIME. 😡 I couldn't find the chip that was bundled with the machine (although I still have its hard cover recipe book), so I Iost the ability to load it to Cuckidoo. That and the high annual Cookidoo dues REALLY pissed me off. I'm going to upgrade to the TM6 (I'm passing the TM5 along to a friend) but there's a side of me that still loves my trusty Canadian TM31 best of all. Just terribly petty on Vorwerk's part, especially for such an expensive, albeit superior, appliance.
Let me know when you purchase the TM6 and share your thoughts on what you think please. I’ll be intrigued 😀

Is it worth getting one of these, as i already have a vitamix. Life is too short for second best. But i am perfectly happy with my vitamix.
@Sonia Hayward that’s entirely up to you. From what I can see, the Vitamix is essentially just a blender and a bit more. The TM6 is a cooking aid with a blender as a function. I highly recommend one. Check out my TM6 playlist to see what else it can do. Any more questions, feel free to ask 🙋🏻♂️😀RTF
Hi Richie, I’m still on the fence about this one. I cannot decide - I’m not a ‘foodie’ or regular cook - I just cook to eat/survive so I suspect this would be too much for me - what do you think? I know you don’t know me from Adam but from what I’ve said and from your personal experience …… thanks.
@Toria Summers - hiya! There’s a few ways you could look at this. If you say you just eat to survive, then it’s possible that it wouldn’t be worth investing so much money into a cooking device.
On the flip side, you could purchase this and possibly discover a love for food, fresh ingredients and different world food cultures which could blow your mind. All made so simple in the TM6! The choice is yours.

Actually, I did not think it was necessary, but when my grandfather gone, I change my mind. My grandmother really need it, because the machine can take care of her instead of me when I am buzy.

Thank you for the video! I know that everything is relative but I’m considering to buy one to my daughter, she is an university student and almost vegetarian, she likes fresh food, do you recommend me to buy it for her?
Hi there. Absolutely, there are 1000’s of vegetarian recipes on Cookidoo. As for liking fresh food, that’s pretty much what the tm6 is all about, scratch cooking with fresh ingredients, virtually nothing processed. To my knowledge, there are a lot of subscribers to my channel who are vegetarian and own a tm6. I hope this helps. Can I say thanks for supporting my channel 🙋🏻♂️😀RTF
Great Video Ritchie. You popped up in my "recommended" with this video! Of course I Subbed!

@Chris Alger - is this a recipe from Cookidoo? If so, which country or region is it from? I don’t seem to be able to find it.

The only thing that i think could be better is that now you are stock to the recepies and if you want to fry for example you have to use some of the recepie and you can not do something on your own recepies for example, thats not so good...

@@RichieTheFoodie looking forward for the cream brûlée! My fav too
Thank you for the excellent and honest opinion, plus comments about the Thermomix TM6. Very interesting and intriguing. I'm only concerned that a person living on their own would benefit from the outlay of such expensive piece of equipment. Definitely 'Food for Thought!"
@Anne Hutchings thanks very much for your kind words, I really appreciate it. I certainly think you would still benefit from owning a TM6 if you live on your own. There’s so much you can do with it. And of course most food I cook in it, batch freezes really will. The chilli for instance. If you have any more questions, please ask, I’m always happy to help.

@Anne Hutchings, there’s portion change function added on this year. I’m an advisor for Thermomix in the UK. Let me know if you have any more questions!
Hi , I just ordered my TM6 and have doubts about if it’s a good decision, I love to cook that’s why I haven’t buy it before… do you still used is as much?
Hi Cyndi. I have to say, you’ve made a great decision. I use mine almost daily, even after all of this time.

Hey is there any way to scale the recipes up or down
For example if I wanna make more flapjacks can I like click some button to maybe get 1.5x the amount of ingredients in the recipe
That’s a very good question. Of course, you can scale recipes down, but as yet, there’s no button to change the amounts. I just do it in my head. That sounds like a very good idea for an update though. If you have any more questions, please ask away.

@Justine Leggett I’m not sure what you mean by a cook key? As for the nutritional content, the cookidoo app does include this with each recipe 🙋🏻♂️😀RTF
There was a cook-key on the tm5; the tm6 doesn't have a cook-key attached as it has cookidoo integrated in the screen. I hope I helped answer your question.

You’re very welcome.
You can absolutely substitute for any ingredient you like. You can also make your own recipes, it’s quite easy once you get used to each function of the machine. It’s very versatile.

So, it’s expensive and you need a subscription to use its features? If that’s the case, it’s a deal breaker to me. What if the subscription service folds? Then what?
@Jondrew55 - yes it is indeed expensive, and yes, you need a subscription to access cookidoo. You get 12-18 months free in most countries though. The subscription mainly pays for recipe updates. There are 1000’s of recipes and more added each week. If the subscription service folds? I doubt that would happen but you never know. I guess you’d be left with a multi functional kitchen appliance.

@@RichieTheFoodie I love the idea to try all those things I have never eaten before.
First thing I will try that beef madras, it looks delicious. Did you spice it up more?
Thanks Rich.
No I didn’t, but feel free to add a bit more heat if you wish. You’ll see from my channel that love to cook traditionally too. I think the biggest hack on the tm6 has to be the risotto. It’s better than what I can achieve on the stove, and so much easier! I urge you to try the mushroom risotto that I’ve recorded here on the channel. Try sous vide cooking too! 😀🙋🏻♂️RTF
I'm taking a serious look at this in the United States. I don't think it will ever replace a Hobart mixer, but I'm betting that it will make it a lot easier for more difficult recipes that require precise temperatures and mixing times, such as hollandaise sauce, tempered chocolate, cream brulee and other recipes that require expensive ingredients and are highly sensitive. I am banking on the possibility that the cost of ingredients will greatly exceed the cost of this machine over time, and it will pay for its self in the reduced potential for food waste. And then there's the added possibility of more experimentation for recipes. One can certainly hope for the best!
You’ve made some very good points there, and you’re exactly right. Creme patisserie for example, comes out perfect. Hollanadaise, as you mentioned is a breeze. Perfect every time, and because it’s taking care of the heat, you can focus on other parts of the dish, knowing the tm6 has your back.
You’d probably use it for a lot more than you think you would, I use mine every day and couldn’t imagine my kitchen life without it now.
I used it to cook a creme brulee on my channel. It Might make an interesting watch for you.
Thanks for commenting and supporting my channel. I appreciate it 😀
@@RichieTheFoodie I'll plan on using it for combination dishes, like a salmon/soup/potato recipe. With salmon at $9.00 per pound, the food is not cheap so I am not going to want to take a chance of it not turning out right. For items that will cause premature wear to the blades of this machine, such as nut butters, I'll continue to use my Robot Coupe for those (they're simple and quick anyway) to extend the Thermomix's life. I am also betting that cold recipes like a cheese ball would be better done in a heavy mixer. For slicing and dicing, the food processor can team with the Thermomix, allowing me to let the Thermomix do a few tasks while I focus on preparing other ingredients with my other tools. There is nothing cheap about good equipment. This is an investment, like buying stocks and precious metals. The payoff is over time.
It certainly sounds like you have an extensive collection of kitchen gadgets, and I think the TM6 would be a worthy new member. I believe the blade is very durable and relatively inexpensive to replace. The TM6 is built well, so it will make a great workhorse.
I sometimes feel like I big this machine up a bit too much in my comments, but it’s that good, it’s difficult not to. I hope you invest in one, and I’d be very interested to know your thoughts, both positive and negative once you become accustomed to it.
Do let me know, and thanks again for posting your comments
You can definitely consider me as a small appliance collector. There have been times when I ended up with some surplus, which I would donate to someone who would want a mixer or food processor. The ones that I use, even if I use them rarely, are the ones I keep.
you wont regret it. Here in the US we have consultants nation wide to help you get one at home.
Thank you very much for this video.. very helpful 👏🏻
Hi Elana.
You’re very welcome. I’m glad it’s helped you decide to get one or not.
Thanks for the lovely comment 😀
RTF
Can you cook recipes not in cookie doo . I have seen other reviews that say it hard to manually over ride it
@Debbie Milner Yes, sure, you absolutely can. I believe there was a function you could only use in Cookidoo. Recent software updates have changed that. If there are functions you can’t manually use, I’m unaware. It would help to use Cookidoo recipes to familiarise yourself with the TM6 functions before attempting your own recipes, like the varoma function for example.
There’s also a glossary in the book explaining each function and settings to help you use it for your own recipes. Please check out my chicken in mushroom sauce, which is my own recipe in the tm6.
I hope this helps, thanks so much for interacting with my channel, I really appreciate it 😀👍🏻

Hi Richie, have you ever had any problems with your thermie insofar as the motor sounding like it’s really struggling and stopping for a couple of seconds? I made some vegetable soup the other day following the guided recipe to the letter and it really sounded like it was having a hard time - clearly there are lots of more vegetables in the bowl but I didn’t do anything I shouldn’t! Thermomix haven’t really said anything about this!
@Toria Summers - a little yes, it depends on the load really I guess. Mine has never stopped for a couple of seconds though, Judy sounds like it’s struggling sometimes. How did the sound turn out? I guess you’ve decided to keep Thelma then? 🙋🏻♂️😀RTF
@@RichieTheFoodie thanks Richie. I can’t describe what it sounded like but imagine any device struggling under what I assume is load! do you really use yours every day? It just seems that a lot of the recipes call for a lot of fattening ingredients, so I appreciate you can change those around. this is such a blinking hard decision and I’m so sorry to trouble you seemingly regularly but you’ve been so kind and helpful!
@@RichieTheFoodie and I didn’t want to burn the motor out so I did report it but Vorwerk didn’t seem to be particularly concerned.

I just learned about this product after seeing a knockoff of it. Im thoroughly impressed with the entire concept and i feel its a tool everyone should have in the kitchen no matter your skill level.
I also wonder if any entrepreneurs have thought of stocking a restaurant with these. You wouldnt need skilled cooks to deliver above avg meals and they would be extremely consistent.
Great video
@Gonzo I completely agree. I feel I’m a good cook (dare I say) but there are so many dishes which I make in the TM6, and compared to manual way I cook them I ask myself, ‘is it worth manually cooking these again? ‘ There’s hardly a difference.
With some of the rubbish served here in the U.K in restaurants, you could easily open a restaurant using just these. I had the opportunity to meet the head chef of a Michelin starred kitchen, I spotted 3 units, they only use them for prep, but still..!
Thanks for taking the time to comment on my channel. I hope you considered subscribing too 😃
RTF
Just off the top of my head: it could get expensive. The savings in labor and the better food might pay for themselves, but I'm guessing that repairs would not be cheap, and the machines are probably not made with heavy use in mind. Then again, it's German engineering, so maybe they are?
@@wademcreynolds7428 i agree. Maybe its something they should R&D. Build some industrial units. I just saw a video of a restaurant somewhere in asia that uses machines to make egg fried rice. They just have someone prepping food and washing the dishes. So it looks like there may be a market for it. I just really love the concept because so many people struggle with cooking meals these days and this can take them to the next level and inspire them.
@@wademcreynolds7428 some very good points there. Here in the UK, you get a 2 year domestic warranty, or 1 year commercial. As for the German engineering, these things feel like they are built extremely well, very sturdy. That’s not to say they’d never break down. Not had any problems at all, with mine yet, after 9 months of almost daily use.

They are used in restaurant kitchens all around the world, when you watch cooking shows & once you know what to look for you'll see them being used especially for sauces etc because Thermomix will hold a constant temperature

Really fancy getting one of these! Do you think the blades will last, or do you get a guarantee with it? Thanks so much for this video. You've made a very reluctant cook want to get in the kitchen!
Hi Katy
These things are absolutely built to last. I guess they should be for the cost of them. Here in the U.K, it comes with a 24 month parts and labour warranty. I believe the blade lasts between 2-5 years, but they aren’t expensive to replace.
If you’re a reluctant cook, and you don’t mind the cost, then you MUST buy a TM6! I can’t recommend one enough, it’s a life changer in the home.

My friend just bought it yesterday in Germany. She talked about it for years, always wanted to buy one and now, since we can't do holidays, she decided to go for that little gadget out of her holiday funds. She paid a whooping promotional €1399, instead of €1496 😳 so much more than here in the UK. I am thinking of it. But I'm worried about the size. It's only 2.2L, so not massive. Obviously you have the steaming basket as well and it has 3L. And also I have a question, since I'm Polish, can you change languages on it? Not that I'm struggling with English but it would be great to read the recipes in my mother tongue. And I was wondering, if they have any Polish recipes 🤔 I own an Instanpot, and I love it but it's not as versatile as this one. Nice review by the way! Keep it up 👍
@Taxi Maxi thanks for you nice comment. I fully appreciate each and every one I receive.
Wow! That is expensive, and in honesty, if it was that price in the U.K and I had to replace mine, I’d pay it.
Yes, the bowl isn’t massive, but a lot of the recipes serve up to 6 people, generously, I’d say 4-5 though, so it depends on how large your family is
I’m sure you can’t change the machine’s language, but I just checked Cookidoo here on my iPad, and you have options to filter countries when you search recipes. For example I searched ‘chicken’ and filtered Poland and I got two matches in Polish, so they are there, but there aren’t many. Anyway, your English is fine!
I’d definitely buy one if you can! Thanks for your support, and I hope you subscribed to the foodie family. Tell your friends too 😁

@@daisye2678 good point. Maybe it’s different for machines sold in Poland then?

You can absolutely change the language to Polish in your settings. In addition cookidoo has recipes from many countries including Poland so you will have native, traditional recipes from Poland, developed by polish chefs for Thermomix. Tons of pirogui recipes ;)
To be clear; the recipes within Cookidoo (what a terrible name), will appear in their native language. I'm unsure of the number of languages available. Suffice to say, it will not translate a Polish recipe to English, for example.

@@tazsedai aww thanks. I really appreciate that. Just as long as you can make out what I’m saying lol. Happy New Year 🙋🏻♂️😀RTF
As a lifelong native New Yorker, I can understand every word..👍👍...
@@RichieTheFoodieOh no! Richie please don’t misunderstand me. Don’t change! Accents are beautiful. It would be boring if we all were speaking, looking or acting the same. Keep the videos coming with your original accent.
Very nice review Sir, I have had a TM6 for about 10 Months or so and it really is so versatile I think.
I make lots of Sauces perfectly 😋
One thing you forget to mention is that because it is so expensive you can pay for it over 12, 24 or 36 interest free monthly payments.
I am doing the 24 months option being a Pensioner 😋
@Andrew Thomas thanks so much for the nice comment! I really appreciate it.
I’m glad you’re enjoying your tm6, it makes life so easy doesn’t it.
That’s a very good point! I did forget to mention the interest free option 😀
I hope you’ve subscribed to the happy foodie family. Thanks for your support!

@@RichieTheFoodie yes I have Mate.
